Is Sydney, Nova Scotia worth visiting? (Exploring the heart of Cape Breton Island) | Canada 🇨🇦
You've probably never heard of Sydney, Nova Scotia. I can't blame you - it's remote location on its namesake harbour on the north coast of Cape Breton Island makes it one of the most hard-to-reach locations in Atlantic Canada. A long five hour drive from Halifax, this small town is technically the province’s second-largest city (now called the Cape Breton Regional Municipality), and is without a doubt the beating heart of Cape Breton Island. Here, the accents are almost Irish, with locals sounding closer to Newfoundlanders rather than their fellow Nova Scotians. This place is far off the beaten path, defined, and that seclusion and remoteness has only contributed to their unique culture, accent, and way of life.
Despite not having nearly the same bustle and cosmopolitan charm of Nova Scotia's capital city of Halifax, Sydney instead offers visitors its charming harbour, plenty of historic homes (some dating back to the 1700s!), excellent seafood and fish & chips, as well as oddities like the world’s largest fiddle, if you’re a fan of quirky roadside attractions. The surrounding area boasts green pastures, winding coastal drives, and amazing ocean vistas along with plenty of adorable B&Bs and guesthouses to relax at after a long day of sightseeing.
In this video, I take you on a short (and foggy!) tour around this small Nova Scotian town, taking in the idyllic harbourfront boardwalk before taking a walking tour around the town's historical streets. I also check out one of Sydney's most famous local cafes - Doktor Luke's - before winding my way back down to the water. The island is also home to some of the kindest locals on Earth, including one fellow who insisted that he drive me to neighbouring North Sydney, even though he wasn't going in that direction. Maritime hospitality at its finest, and those who have visited here will know that comes as no surprise.

CAPE BRETON Travel Guide 🦞 | Things to do in Cape Breton, NOVA SCOTIA, Canada 🇨🇦
Hello and greetings from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where in this travel guide we plan to highlight some of the top things to do for visitors! We recently spent a week road-tripping the island and what an adventure that was! This was our fourth summer exploring Nova Scotia, and this time around we focused on southern Cape Breton, specifically the area between St. Peter’s and Port Hastings. Here is our Cape Breton Travel Guide covering some fascinating things to do in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I think this is a really interesting area to visit because it is very accessible. Port Hastings is the first town you hit if you’re crossing via the Canso Causeway (the only land access point to the island!), so it’s a logical starting point, and it makes a lot of sense for travellers who want to see a bit of Cape Breton without having to drive too far.
We spent our week in southern Cape Breton doing an iconic sail from lake to sea, feasting on seafood at every meal, tackling different hiking trails, and enjoying the warm hospitality the island is known for.
So hit that subscribe button and join us as we explore Cape Breton, Nova Scotia!
Places we visited in southern Cape Breton:
St Peter’s Canal Sailing Tour
The Island Nest
LeNoir Forge
Lennox Passage Provincial Park
The Groundswell Inn
Battery Provincial Park
St Peter’s Coastal Trail
Lockmaster’s Pub
Miller's
Port Hawkesbury Community Trails
The Country Kitchen
Celtic Shores Coastal Trail
Canso Causeway
The Cove
Dundee Resort and Golf Club

Things To Do In Sydney NS
--~--
Things to do in Sydney, NS gives some suggestion how to spend the day in Sydney while your cruise ship is in port. Sydney, Nova Scotia has become a very popular stop on most cruise ship itineraries on Canada Cruises from New York and Cruises from Boston.
Nova Scotia means New Scotland, and the sound of bagpipes is not uncommon here. Early Scottish settlers felt the land resembled home. The most popular excursion is a trip to the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park, an amazing re-creation of a 1744 French fortress. Bird-watchers will want to venture out to Bird Islands to spot the Atlantic puffin and bald eagle. The sinuous Cabot Trail along the coast offers one of the most dramatic drives in North America.

A day in Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
A day trip to Sydney on Cape Breton in Nova Scotia is sure to be a memorable adventure, with every stop on the itinerary being a unique experience and a destination to remember. Home to about 30,000 people, Sydney is a popular port of call on North Atlantic cruises and the city transforms on those days – there's so much dynamics around the downtown, restaurants are booked with waiting lines, souvenir shops run out of maple syrup and all that jazz.
Sydney is convenient to base your Cape Breton adventures from, due to the size of the island it is easy to run several day trips from Sydney to different destinations. And of course Cabot Trail is right nearby, Cabot Trail is a magnificent scenic route showing Cape Breton in all its minimalistic northern beauty. I hope this video will help you get the look and feel of Sydney! Thanks for watching.
